Just goes to show you how stupid people are and how fucking worthless the news media is this day and age. But guess what, we have something to look forward too. People are only getting dumber and if you couldn't pick up on the tongue in cheek way that article was written you are completely lost.

Like:
"According to Armstrong, he was forced to reconsider every single detail of the monumental journey after watching a few persuasive YouTube videos, and reading several blog posts on conspiracy theorist Ralph Coleman's website, OmissionControl.org."

and

"Amstrong was swayed by OmissionControl's use of bolding and capital letters to highlight NASA's many blatant fallacies."

or how about....

"In a symbolic display of his newfound skepticism, Armstrong then grabbed a collection of moon rocks he had kept as souvenirs and dramatically dumped them into a trash can."

and even...

"That rippling is not possible in the vacuum of space," Armstrong said. "It must have been the wind from an air-conditioning duct that I didn't recognize because you can't hear a damn thing inside those helmets."

I guess you get the point... Idiocracy just scored another point.
